Back Off, Let Me Come

He Shu's words made the air freeze.

Shen Tang wiped away the relaxation just now and looked directly at He Shu with a serious look: "As a member of a noble family, he said such crazy and outrageous words. Can the head of the He family, Gu, regard it as a declaration of surrender?"

"Of course -" He Shu's smile subtly elongated, and his attitude was mysterious and authentic, "That's impossible! If this counts as a vote for fame, who has He become? It's true to fight, it's true to be defeated, it's true to be inferior in skill to others, But it’s true that you can help Shen Jun get rid of the hidden dangers in his heart. Mr. Shen, you should be decisive in everything.”

He Shu's comment made Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh.

Over the years, she has only heard people say that she is too cruel, but not that she is tolerant to the aristocratic family. The person who made the evaluation is still the head of the family, which is difficult to judge. Depriving the family of their land and hunting down the tenants was the cruelest move Shen Tang could make without lifting the table. If it were any heavier, I don't know how many people would attack her!

There are a considerable proportion of aristocratic family members in the Kangguo court.

The country cannot function without them, and she cannot stab people to death until someone who can completely replace them appears.

She was indifferent to He Shu's temptation.

Just kidding, if Shen Tang agrees with He Shu's words, it will not only acquiesce in He Shu's future ownership, but also take the blame for He Shu's massacre of the Shangnan County family. As long as Shen Tang takes this scapegoat and tries to expand his territory, those powerful families will be the group that resists the most fiercely. The aristocratic family group has a certain weakness and will bend their knees for profit, but when their interests are touched, they will also explode with terrifying destructive power.

He would rather live in pieces than in pieces.

Willing to sacrifice one person to preserve the interests of the clan.

During the years when Shen Tang was the head of the country, she had frequent dealings with aristocratic families, and she would occasionally break into a cold sweat - she was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers when she hosted the Hongmen Banquet for the aristocratic family. Even if time goes back, she will still make the same choice.

If the aristocratic family is not suppressed, the state of Kang will not be able to develop.

Over the years, the family has been quite well-behaved.

There were some small moves behind the scenes, but Shen Tang used the Yushitai to solve them. The current record of both sides shows that Shen Tang wins more and loses less, so he doesn't suffer much. She knew in her heart that the calm was only temporary, and she would deal with them completely sooner or later.

He had the idea of ​​overturning the table in his mind, but his actions were still friendly.

Therefore, Shen Tang refused the shit bowl thrown by He Shu.

"Power lies in immutability, benefit lies in timing, opportunity lies in responding to events, and warfare lies in managing one's energy... Whether it is governing a country or marching and fighting, the principles are the same. When it is cut off, it is true, but it must be done at the right time. The time is right." Shen Tang said, "The time is not right now. I just don't understand why, as the head of the clan, why is it against his own interests?"

Shen Tang deliberately changed the topic.

According to He Shu's mental journey, if he hadn't lied, Shen Tang could barely understand his change. Generally speaking, He Shu cannot truly integrate into the interest group of the aristocratic family due to his special circumstances. He can be abandoned at any time and be targeted by thousands of people. In addition, he has the psychological trauma of being unnoticed and having no sense of existence in his childhood, so he desperately hopes to be accepted.

Only in this way can he gain a little sense of security.

Cui Xiao's situation is somewhat similar. He longs to be noticed, eager to be recognized, and even more eager to be accepted by the Lord. Shen Tang gave him the trust and sense of security that Wu Xian had never given him.

Shen Tang understood this and always tried his best to satisfy him.

He Shu could not get this sense of security from his family members, and he never regarded himself as a member of the group. Naturally, he could look at problems more rationally and break out of class limitations. It's clear to see clearly, but it's unexpected to abandon class so completely.

You must know that He Shu, as the head of the family, has a vested interest.

He Shu looked at Shen Tang with complicated eyes.

Youyou said: "Jun Shen is really not a pleasant person."

The question asked was so offensive.

Shen Tang didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and just wanted to keep the problem vague. After a conversation, she didn't really want to recruit He Shu, at least not suitable for Kang Guo at the moment. The contradictions in He Shu were too sharp, even if she had to use This person had to wait until she really cut the main artery of the family - but He Shu pretended to have a heart-to-heart talk, and he didn't even say some words to the congratulatory letter.

He Shu talked about an old incident.

The He family he belongs to is just a side branch of his ancestors.

In the early years, Dazong ran a large-scale tea business. Although it was only one of the family's incomes, there were tens of thousands of acres of tea fields and countless tenants. After his branch was divided, he also received some family property. He Shu took over the family and once carefully understood the experience of this part of the family, he found that the branch accounts were wrong.

Shen Tang was very proud and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Shu said: "It's the price."

The scale of tea fields was expanded through acquisition and land reclamation.

The purchase price is low, and the expenditure on land reclamation is surprisingly small.

He Shu thought someone was making false accounts, so he did not choose to alert the snake. Instead, he concealed his identity and went on an on-site investigation. As a result, the real reason for the low book price was discovered! The person responsible for this matter made false accounts, and the book price made by the other party was 60% higher than the actual expenditure, which means that the other party pocketed 60% of the money.

It's 60% higher, but the book price is actually still low.

"Have you heard of the 'Obscene Dream Monkey Game' before Mr. Shen?"

Shen Tang's face darkened and he understood what was going on.

"This corrupt person set the stage, using very low prices to arouse the greed of the people, colluding with local officials to frame them for stealing money, and seizing the fields that should belong to the people. This is not enough to settle the trouble. Those who have fields sell their fields, and there is no way to solve the problem. Those in Tian'an could only sell themselves, and some were even forced to hang themselves."

When He Shu learned about this, he immediately dealt with the person in charge.

Return the tea fields and the silver.

This should have been what He Shu should have done.

As a result, nearly a thousand people knelt down to worship him that day. The old man with white hair and beard was so excited that he broke his forehead, and everyone cried with joy.

This was the first time that He Shu faced such an absurd atmosphere.

He was the head of the He family and the culprit, and he was praised and worshipped, while they just took back what belonged to them, and they had to be humble and grateful to others.

Have they forgotten the pain of these years?

He Shu asked back: "What do you think after hearing this, Mr. Shen?"

"They can easily give you the sense of security you want."

The intrigue within the aristocratic family, a small branch of the He family can set up a scheme to harm thousands of people in a tea business, and they are full of tricks, and they can turn their faces and disown people at any time for the sake of profit. In comparison, the recognition and gratitude of the common people are too easy to obtain.

He Shu: "..."

Shen Tang's sharp comment choked him.

After a long while, he finally exhaled a foul breath: "Mr. Shen, I am sure that you are not a lord who can please others."

Shen Tang chuckled: "You also said that I am a lord."

Since she is a lord, naturally others will please her first.

The person who wants her to lower herself to please...

At least it should be her own people.

He Shu stopped talking and just closed his eyes.

When these dark eyes opened again, they were clear again, and there was a hint of surprise that had not yet been restrained. The eyes of this pair of brothers were too recognizable. Shen Tang recognized at a glance that this was He Xin, not He Shu: "Hao Gu, why did your eldest brother go back?"

He Xin was kicked out by his eldest brother when he was caught off guard.

He said: "My eldest brother said he didn't want to talk to you anymore."

The only person who could make his eldest brother say "unpleasant" twice in a row, except for Qi Yuanliang back then, was Shen Youli in front of him.

Shen Tang curled his lips: "He cheated when his defense was broken."

He Xin smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to start.

My eldest brother's life is still in his hands.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tang's next sentence made He Xin speechless: "Just now, Haogu called himself a 'commoner', and he is still a commoner. Are you interested in trying Kangguo? Today's Kangguo is in its prime, with clear politics, and the monarch and his subjects are united. They will not let Haogu's talent go to waste. Do you think you want to consider it?"

He Xin was silent, and then he looked at Qishan.

Qishan said: "The master is recruiting you."

The tone was a little sour.

Not to mention after the establishment of Kangguo, even before the establishment of Kangguo, Shen Tang rarely recruited anyone directly. From the time she entered the tent to now, she had a few words with He Xin, and she decided to recruit him. He Shu would vomit blood if he knew it.

He Xin seemed to have just reacted and was a little at a loss.

He said seriously: "Commoners are not as talented and knowledgeable as my brother."

If he really wants to recruit someone, it should be his brother.

"Don't belittle yourself, Haogu. I just said that if you don't have the same temperament and ambition, even if he is one in a million, what does it have to do with me? It is true that we promote people based on their talents, but we also need to see if they are suitable for the company culture."

As soon as she saw He Xin's eyes, she knew that he was honest and dutiful. He was definitely a worker who worked overtime without complaint!

Shen Tang leaned forward and patted the back of his hand.

"Haogu is good."

He has clear eyes like a college student, so easy to deceive.

He Xin, who was labeled as a "college student": "..."

He sighed and said, "... Let me think about this again."

That said, it is unlikely to be rejected.

He Xin did make a contribution, and Shen Tang would not kill him, but He Shu was also a captive. According to what He Xin learned, Kangguo would find ways to scrape off a layer of oil for such captives who could not be killed or recruited, either by paying money to redeem them or creating enough value. If Shen Tang deliberately made things difficult for people, this matter would not end well.

The best way is to agree to recruit them.

"Well, Haogu, think about it."

Shen Tang and the others did not stay for long. After leaving, Qi Shan asked: "Why did the master suddenly want to recruit He Xin?"

There was no such plan at the beginning.

"It's cost-effective."

"Cost-effective?"

Shen Tang smiled and said: "He Haogu and He Buzuo, don't think about acting separately in the short term. Even if I agree to expose this matter, are the remnants of the Shangnan families willing to let it go? If you want to calm this matter down, 'He Shu' is either dead or missing. Recruiting a He Xin is equivalent to getting a He Shu for free... No salary!"

The two brothers can take turns to work overtime.

I am also envious of He Shu's way of scholars.

Even if it is for his way of scholars, he must live until Luan Xin's way of scholars is perfected, so as to maximize the benefits.

Qi Shan: "..."

He really can't report any hope to the master.

Shen Tang said excitedly: "Besides this, He Shu has other uses. There are too many things that can be studied about his way of writing... If the General's Office can use it to make similar objects artificially... Yuanliang, have you ever thought about this?"

Can these thunders be used reasonably?

Qi Shan naturally couldn't think of this. He didn't even know what the thunders could be used for. Use them to bomb the enemy?

Shen Tang waved his hand: "You will know later."

He Shu is simply a walking power plant!

Before she left, she deliberately mentioned that she couldn't stay in Shangnan for a long time. He Xin heard the implication and knew that he only had one night to think about it. He sat in the tent to discuss with his eldest brother. The two brothers were absent-minded until the message outside the tent interrupted the conversation.

He Shu said: [It has not been an hour. 】

The congratulatory letter responded mildly: [Ask what you want first. 】

Outside the tent, the soldiers clasped their fists and saluted.

The news brought by the soldiers successfully angered He Shu.

Congratulatory letter heard his brother roaring: [Pray! Yuan! good! 】

Every word, gritted teeth.

Listening to the tone, I want to eat people alive!

He Xin understands his brother, Qi Shan is indeed hateful.

This guy actually concealed the truth and robbed his whole family.

My wife and children are all here.

Now, even if you don’t agree to the congratulatory letter, you have to agree.

Shen Tang also got the news on the back foot and suddenly turned to look at Qi Shan. Don't blame her for her reaction. Calculating the schedule with her fingers, the He family could not have picked her up in the past few days. It was most likely around the time the Battle of Shangnan started. Qishan's answer also confirmed her guess: "I am convinced that the enemy is He Buzuo, so I will arrange for someone to pick him up."

Taking control of the hostage is simple and to the point.

"Arrange someone to pick him up? Are you really not using force to rob him?"

Qi Shan looked like he had been wronged.

"How could Shan use force against women, children, the elderly and the weak?"

Evil plots also have a bottom line.

Qishan added: "At most, I used a little strategy."

Shen Tang was curious about the content of the plan.

"Trick her here with a letter of congratulations."

To be precise, it was a letter from home disguised as a congratulatory letter.

Shen Tang: "..."

It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.

Consider every word carefully, why is there so much information?

"Are you sure it's a letter of congratulations rather than a letter of congratulations?"

Qishan asked, "What's the difference between the two?"

Five words successfully silenced Shen Tang.

Qishan remembered that he was still alone from the head of the family and had no understanding of men and women. He couldn't accept this strange pattern for a while. He explained: "The situation of He Shu brothers is destined that one of them is a human being and the other is a temporary person incarnated with literary spirit." The carrier, I think, knows that it is impossible for them to start a family separately. The truth cannot be known to the outside world, but it cannot be hidden from the people next to me."

"so?"

"It's just what the Lord thought."

Shen Tang: "...She also accepts it?"

Qishan didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "More than accepting it, it is normal for a woman from aristocratic family to have one or two close friends before marriage... It is also normal for her to be attracted to two men at the same time..."

In troubled times, aristocratic families have always had low requirements for married women - it's okay to have a close friend before marriage, but not after marriage; when you step into the door of your husband's family, don't have the flesh and blood of an outsider in your belly.

Marriage between aristocratic families is for profit cooperation, and marriage is nothing but a hub. A good relationship between married couples is the best, but they can make do with a bad relationship. The woman was willing to accept the situation of He Shu brothers, and at the same time she was attracted to the two men and got along well with each other. Shouldn't He be grateful for this?

Shen Tang: "..."
